Welcome, follow along with George Dutka in his journal which documents the additions and future thoughts for the HO scale White River Division model railroad and to his continuing historical New England railroad research. The White River Division is now in its 14th modeler's season. The "modeler's season" runs from November to April each year. Inspiration comes from the Boston and Maine, Rutland and Central Vermont Railway during the 1950's with additional posts by Don Janes and Peter Mumby.

Feed Mill in HO Scale

The siding is cedar cigar wraps.

Viewing Matthieu Lachance's recent efforts shingling the sides of his Montmorency Falls station (seen on his blog hedley-junction.blogspot.ca
) reminded me of the photos I took of a mill displayed at this years Copetown Show. The shingled siding was also painstakingly applied using cut cigar cedar warps one at a time. I remember Dave Frary mentioning this as a method he used years ago in one of his books. This mill has used various siding and roofing types making for a very interesting model...a tip of the hat to both modelers...George Dutka

This structure makes use of various types of modeling material including stone, metal and wood.

Overhead view and back wall...sorry about the quality as I was taking these hand held with my pocket camera.
